Jon Polito has a very significant meaning to you Seamus, you’ve just never figured it out.

Do you remember the line in “The Big Lebowski” when he tells Jeff Bridges “Relax, Man. I’m A Brother Seamus.”?

That’s where your name comes from. From that actor, from your favorite movie.

Bittersweet, isn’t it? Just like Cartman drinking Scott Teneman’s tears.

RIP... shame to hear it.

We all have an Expiration Date, unfortunately.

It is. It was such a weird thing that it fit perfectly.
